Prepare for the complexities of working in modern banking and cross-border financial systems with our CBI-accredited Masters degree.
Modern banking relies on integrated financial markets and global business activity.
This course gives you a thorough understanding of the latest theories in banking and finance, along with practical skills and real-world experience, preparing you to succeed in a competitive job market.
You’ll gain insight into how banks operate, manage risk and interact with global financial institutions. You’ll develop a well-rounded skill set in financial analysis and strategic decision-making, with optional modules giving you technical skills that are valued in the workplace.
Our highly qualified academics bring their research and consultancy expertise in credit, banking and finance to the classroom, helping you put your knowledge and skills to the test in real-life scenarios in practical exercises.
The programme is designed to help you become confident in financial modelling, data-driven analysis, and research methods. You’ll start by developing a shared set of technical skills, then progress into one of two research pathways depending on whether you want a more industry-facing applied project or a more academically oriented dissertation.
A strong research culture and excellent links with industry, commerce and professional bodies will give you a real understanding of the current challenges and issues facing the world’s international financial institutions.
"My experience at the Business School helped me take on challenges in global financial markets and motivated me to develop my career more broadly. The foundation of my knowledge was solidified through the lessons I learned at the Business School.
